"D-did that guy just say Ayano's one of the Ten Commandments?!" Hawk shouts

"I am not a commandment.. not anymore" Ayano crosses her arms "I wish you would check your facts before you start spewing nonsense Gloxinia" she glares at him

"You never denounced your title" Gloxinia smirks "you're mis-"

"shut up!" Ayano's eyes glowed red

"Ayano" Meliodas grabs her arm

"Don't touch me" Ayano pushes him away, her eyes stop glowing and she sighs "sorry"

"Ayano isn't a Commandment.. that was a long time ago" Meliodas tells the others

"We know that" Ban looks at him "Ayano's family and one midget's words aren't going to change that" he looks at Ayano "right princess?"

"mhm" Ayano smiles "thanks Ban"

They look over to see King yelling at the first fairy king and Gloxinia giving very vague answers, 

"All you have to do is win this festival, once you make it official then I shall answer anything you want to know" Gloxinia says to King

"The first fairy king?! Why is he one of Galand's and Melascula's comrades?!" Jericho asks

"I can't believe he's been alive all this time" Elaine says

"Well then, I don't know about you but all this chit-chat is putting me to sleep!! Let the Grand Battle Festival Begin!!" Gloxinia says "Come on you're up! Our organisation assistant Taizoo~!"

"Wasn't he the three years in a row champion?" Howzer asks

"And you ruined that for him" Ayano smirks at Howzer

"Welcome, you battle-starved beasts! It seems there were a lot more of you that cleared the labyrinth than we expected!!" Taizoo shouts.

"So to kick things off, we'll start with pairs battling it out in a tag-team match competition!! Who's with me?!" Taizoo was and we all just stare at him in silence, "T...Tough crowd..."

Gowther arrives by jumping on Escanor

"Ahh, my apologies. It appears I may have slightly miscalculated my landing position," He says looking at the fallen sin

"Gowther" Ayano waves to him "hey little brother"

"It seems you are already here big sister" Gowther stands up

Escanor freaks out about the broken glasses.

"That's the Lion sin... Sir Escanor?" Elizabeth asks

"yep" Ayano smiles

"THE PRECIOUS GLASSES THAT MERLIN GIFTED ME... TH-TH-THEY'RE BEYOND REPAIR!! WITHOUT THESE, I....I...I JUST...GAAAAH!!" Escanor screeches

"You annoy me," Gloxinia says, "Plus you're bringing the beginning of the festivities to a standstill," Gloxinia says and his Vasquez pierces Escanor straight through

"ESCANOR" Meliodas and Ban run over to him

"Oh no" Elaine looks sad

"Don't worry" Ayano pats her on the back "I'm sure killing him would just ruin Gloxinia's fun, he'll live"

"I...I... Still haven't... told Merlin... I... I can't die yet... I don't want to... Not like this...." Escanor says with tears in his eyes

"Just like this!" Gloxinia shouts and a droplet lands on Escanor healing him

"Now that I've given everyone just a little taste, let's hurry and split them up into pairs!! Well then... The honours all your, Dolor!" Gloxinia shouts

Meliodas looks at Ayano before everyone was suddenly rising into the air. Meliodas ended up with Ban.

"Together... Looks like it's you and me huh?" Ban says "Yo, Cap'n let's tear through this thing~"

"Alright" Meliodas grins and the two high-five

Two Ten Commandment summon a few golems, "There we are, all even!" Gloxinia says looking around

Meliodas looks around for Ayano but stops when he sees Elizabeth and Elaine together.

"ELAINE!" Ban calls out

"Gloxinia! Elizabeth has nothing to do with this!! Return her at once!!" Meliodas yells

"Lay a single finger on Elain and I'll fucking dice you into mincemeat!!" Ban shouts

"We're the ones that'll be deciding that Meliodas~" Gloxinia says looking at me, "Unfortunately, the moment they stepped foot into the labyrinth, they became willing participants"

"You motherfucker!!" Ban shouts

"Rule number 3, abandoning or forfeiting of the battle is strictly prohibited" Gloxinia tells them

"Ban!! I'm fine too!" Elaine shouts, "It's as Elizabeth said, you worry about your own fight and come back to me unharmed, got it?!" 

"Hey Gloxinia!" they hear Ayano shout "You said it was teams, why the hell am I alone!"

Meliodas turns to see Ayano on a platform with two others, she was alone.

"Because you have a familiar you can summon, it would be unfair if it was 3 against one" Gloxinia smirks

"b-but I can't summon my familiar right now" Ayano says

"Oh well" Gloxinia shrugs

"That's unfair!" Meliodas shouts

"Nobody asked you!" Ayano shouts at him

"What are you mad at me for?!" Meliodas is confused

"I'm not mad!" Ayano sighs in annoyance "Just don't get your ass kicked!"

After Elizabeth and Elaine finished their fight it was Meliodas and Ban's turn. The girls surprisingly won, even though Elizabeth tried to heal one, they died anyone so that was pointless.

"Hey Cap'n," Ban says "Our opponents, pretty straight forward... They're demons. These blue ones in particular... Their speed is nothing to scoff at... So be on your guards, yeah?" Ban says and suddenly the blue demons fly past and up high "What the hell? Flying up in the air like that is playin' dirty"

"If we can't catch 'em, this is gonna be a pain in the ass" Meliodas rubs the back of his neck

"You just wanna hurry these up so you can feel up Ayano as soon as possible, doncha cap'n?" Ban questions teasingly

"Please... Like you're not dying to go and snuggle with Elaine" Meliodas replies

"Don't lump me in with you, Cap'n" Ban flicks his hair with a grin

"Am I wrong? Funny, guess you're still as immature as ever" Meliodas chuckles

"Immature? That's rich coming from you~" Ban says then all of a sudden his hand is gone

"Huh? Where'd your hand go?" Meliodas questions

"Don't change the subject" Ban says as his hand grows pointing to Meliodas "I ain't like you, Cap'n who gets his rocks off of feeling up asses~"

"Don't be ridiculous... I'm no kid... There's no way I'd be satisfied with just get with just getting my hands on some sweet ass" Meliodas argues and Ban becomes blurry like he's been hit but doesn't realize "I'd at least have to squeeze a nice set of titties... My Ayano is perfect~"

"What the hell Meli!" Ayano shouts "focus on your fight you idiot!"

"Cap'n... you got something on your face there" Ban says pointing at Meliodas and a bird's foot thing falls off, looks like it's been cut off

"Now you're the one changing the subject" Meliodas looks at him blankly then smirks folding his arms "You know what I think Ban? I think the very concept of a woman's cushy, plump, wondrous lumps are just too far beyond your realm of understanding and appreciation"

"Heeeh?!" Ban says annoyed "Them sounds like fightin' words to me... Let's get one thing straight, cap'n... You took the words right outta... MY MOUTH!" He punches Meliodas but something gets in the way

"That silky-soft, smooth sensation from holding Elaine close is simply the best~" Ban grins

"B-Ban!" Elaine blushes

"Subtle you say?" Meliodas questions and kick him "How this for subtle?!"

"Don't make me say it again, Ban!! Ayano is the cream of the crop!!" Meliodas glares at him

"As if" Ben coughs getting up, "No one holds .a candle to Elai...n" He looks down, "Ah? How the hell did he die?" He sees one of the blue demons underneath him, dead

Meliodas looks behind him to see the other one dead as well "It looks like they've been completely wiped out"

"No way!! What the?!... So then... Doesn't that mean, we're done?" Ban asks

"Those idiots" Ayano mutters

"good luck honey!" Meliodas waves to her happily "be careful!"

"Kick some ass princess!" Ban gives her a thumbs up

"Good luck Lady Ayano" Elizabeth smiles

"You can do it" Elaine encourages

"yeah no pressure guys" Ayano sighs

Ayano turns to face the two golems.

"Hey Gloxinia, you won't be upset if I break your toys would you?" Ayano asks teasingly

"wouldn't be the first time" Gloxinia replies with a smirk "show me what you can do, princess"

Ayano crosses her arms "LaLuna"

Ayano's necklace glows and her eyes glow red. Everyone seems to be completely focused on her fight. Ayano's wings grow to normal size and spread out. Gloxinia's golem rushes forward and shoots vines at her.

Ayano puts her hand out and fire shoots out at the vines, dissolving them. Gloxinia looks very amused and continues to watch.

"Just what are you up to Gloxinia?" Meliodas mumbles

Ayano takes a breath before rushing forward and slices Gloxinia's golem straight through with fire. The other golem rushes forward to help and Ayano uses her wings to send a strong blast of wind at it to send it back.

"LaLuna" Ayano puts her hand over her necklace and draws back, a sword coming out from it

"What on earth is that?!" Ban asks surprised

"That's LaLuna" Meliodas smiles "Ayano's sword"

"You mean that's her real weapon?!" King shouts

"yep" Meliodas crosses his arms "this battle's getting serious"

"LaLuna looks different" Gloxinia says

Ayano's sword was thin, it didn't look very powerful at all. Ayano glided her fingers across the blade and it lit up with black fire. She faced the two golems and strikes through both of them in an instant catching them both ablaze. The golems tried healing but the black flames kept burning them until their was nothing left.

"LaLuna" Ayano put her sword through her necklace and it was gone

"Lady Ayano's so strong" Elizabeth says admiringly

"Way to go!" Meliodas cheers

"Nicely done princess" Ban smiles

"Third victor is Princess Ayano!" Taizoo announces

-

After a while of all the fights, it soon began to come near an end. 

"I am going to win this festival and gain a heart" Gowther says, he's fighting Hawk and Escanor, "If I do that, then just maybe from the bottom of that heart.. I'll be able to feel remorse over your deaths"

"G...Gowther... Is saying some rather alarming things right now I must say" Escanor says, his voice shaking so his whole body is trembling all over

"P...Pardon me!!" Escanor knelt at the end of his stand looking at Dolor and Gloxinia, "I... I simply came here to deliver some alcoholic beverages for the grand battle festivities... I had no intention of participating!! Is there perhaps any way you can just give me a loss by default and let me bow out?!" 

"No exceptions will be made..." Dolor says

"You've already been chosen to enter and come this far, how about you grow a pair and show us what you're made of" Gloxinia says with a smirk

"Th... Then please, I beg of you... Change the rules!! I've known Gowther for longer than and although I've recently made acquaintances with Jericho... Both of them are precious comrades of mine!! There's no way I'd be able to fight them to the death!!" Escanor begs.

Gloxinia begins laughing, "I know and that's what makes it so fun!! To have one's wishes granted... A person will do just about anything... No matter how cruel or vile it may be. That's just the kind of species you humans are, to begin with, isn't that right?"

"Ca...Caca...CAPTAIN!!!! Wh...What do I do!?!!!!" Escanor looks at Meliodas

"This is beyond pathetic... I can see nothing but panic and fear within that man" Dolor says

"Captain?" Gloxinia questions

"It would appear that pathetic man and Meliodas are old friends" Dolor says

Gowther attacks Jericho then Hawk

"Gowther stop!" Ayano shouts

"M...Mr Pig!! Jericho!!" Escanor yells

"Now then... That takes care of any intrusions we might have" Gowther says along with the clapping of his hands like he's dusting his hands off.

"I...I know... Merlin... But... I'm fine with that" Escanor says, "You are not the person that would walk alongside me... When I was drowning in absolute darkness... She was always the one who illuminated the path of my life. that's what sun does and you'll always be my sun!" Escanor stands up and his body starts growing in height and muscle "Gowther..." His voice deeper, "What you showed me just now... Was not despair... But hope...!" He looks at Gowther, "Now, come little sin that takes pleasure in toying with the hearts of others... Retribution for your shenanigans shall be severe...!"

"oh god" Ayano stands up, she glances at Meliodas who mouths something to her

"This is quite an unexpected effect, to think a completely abstracted pseudo-image of the 'sun' in your mind's world would produce such a response," Gowther says

Escanor jumps up holding his hand up to the moon, "Heed my will!! Come to me!! Divine Axe Rhitta!" He calls out and his axe rushes into his head, "Holy Armament, Release!" he shouts and suddenly a bright light like the sun appears above us all

"Bring it on!" Gowther responds

Escanor swings his axe attacking, it leaves a massive gush of wind and dirt surrounding Gowther. Ayano walks to the end of her stand, Escanor was back in the weaker body, she looks down to see Dolor and Gloxinia knocked down by Escanors attack.

"Meliodas" Ayano looks at him

Meliodas looks back up at her "let's go!"
